"For countless Portlanders and tourists, Southeast Portland’s Reel M Inn is that bar. “It feels like a big hug in there,” says Carey Bolton, bar manager, owner, and chicken-frying master. The reliable and familiar red stucco building has been a neighborhood watering hole for more than 50 years. The bar has run through myriad names — Spill M Inn, Hogan’s, the Lion’s Den — but for many, it’s always (or since about 1994, anyway) been the Reel." - Samantha Bakall
